Yep, I was just making sure.. That makes it even more of a mystery though, don't you think?
Since then I went though created a new CGI object within that sub whenever I've needed it, a
nd it seems to work. The problem only appears to happen if a new CGI object is created withi
n the handler or within a sub that is called from the handler and it only effects upload????
?? Bizzare, but I'm trying to move on..

I'm giving that a shot now, If I can get Apache2::Cookie to work right and find some way to 
duplicate CGI.pm's "escape" and "unescape" methods I won't need CGI.pm at all..
 
Thanks!
